Christie was initially listed as questionable with an illness, but will miss the game against the Pelicans Monday. The 22-year-old guard has played less than 20 minutes in each of his last two game. Christie’s absence won’t significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Markkanen did not play in Saturday’s win over the Magic, so Kyle Filipowski started alongside Jusuf Nurkić. That would remain the case if Lauri can’t play on Monday. At this point, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hold onto Filipowski, even if he’s asked to come off the bench.

A sore left knee also landed Thompson on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s loss to the 76ers, a game in which he played 18 minutes.

Flagg’s availability is a big deal for the Mavericks, even if the team has seemingly found an answer at the point guard position in Ryan Nembhard. Not having the rookie would leave a massive hole in the Mavericks’ starting lineup.

George’s streak of games with at least 30 points ended at three, but the 22-year-old point guard still had 27 points in the overtime loss to the Magic Saturday. He was clutch in overtime with a four-point play that put the Jazz up by one with four seconds only to lose on a Desmond Bane game-winning jumper. The Jazz have four games in Week 10, beginning with a matchup with the Nuggets on Monday.

Flagg appears to be coming into his own early in his young career. He’s averaging 29.7 points per game, 7.0 rebounds per game and 4.3 assists per game over his last three games.

George had his third consecutive game with at least 30 points against the Lakers Thursday. The 22-year-old point guard was excellent, draining five three-pointers for the third straight game as well.

Davis was initially questionable with a calf injury after missing Monday’s loss to the Jazz. The 32-year-old power forward ended up playing 37 minutes in the overtime win over the Pistons. Davis continues to be in and out of the lineup with injuries, but he was able to showcase his skills against one of the contending teams that might be interested in trading for him against the Pistons Thursday. Dallas will be back in action on Saturday against the 76ers.

Coming off a 42-point performance in the loss to the Jazz Monday, Flagg was excellent in the win over the Pistons on Thursday. The 18-year-old power forward joined an exclusive club with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James as the only 18-year-olds in NBA history with 500 points. Flagg stopped and hit a jump shot with 3.4 seconds left in regulation to give the Mavericks the lead, though they still needed overtime to secure the victory. Dallas is off on Friday ahead of a game with the 76ers on Saturday.

A season-high 38 minutes allowed Filipowski to produce some of his best work of the season. In his minutes, efficient shooting both inside and outside the arc helped him set a new high in points on the season, which was only the third-most on the Mavs on Monday. Filipowski’s high-scoring performance came with Jusuf Nurkic (rest) on the sideline for Monday’s contest, but when Nurkic returns, the versatile forward will likely head back to the bench to play a more reduced role.

Lauri Markkanen was great against the Mavs on Monday. He dominated the glass, tied a season-high in assists, and set a new season-high in steals, all while finishing as one of two Jazz players to score at least 30 points.

George was electric in the overtime thriller on Monday. On the heels of a career-high 39-point game, he logged a nearly identical line against the Mavericks — he drained five three-pointers, made double-digit free throws, and pitched in as a facilitator and rebounder. George has been one of the league’s most improved players this season, resulting in stellar fantasy numbers. He’ll have a chance to keep his streak of 30-point games alive on Thursday when they face the Lakers.

The rookie bounced back from a zero-point outing against the Nets recently by logging his third double-double of December. Nembhard led the Mavericks in assists and was one of four on the team to score at least 10 points.

Nembhard has had a nice rookie season to this point and should continue to improve going forward.

Washington filled the scoring and rebounding void that Anthony Davis (calf) left behind on Monday in his absence. The veteran forward produced mostly inside the arc en route to his first 20-point game of December, with his double-digit rebounds leading to double-double No. 3 on the season. His scoring total was second on the team behind Cooper Flagg’s 42 points, with the two combining for over half of the Mavericks’ points in the loss. Washington has had a good year, but his production has reached another level recently when Davis hasn’t been in uniform. If Davis is out again on Thursday against Detroit, expect Washington to put up good numbers.

Flagg made history on Monday in Salt Lake City, becoming the first 18-year-old player to score 40 points in an NBA game. He got there with efficient shooting and lots of production from the charity stripe, but just as impressively, he was able to impact the game as a rebounder, passer, and defender. The career-high scoring total wasn’t enough to give the Mavericks a third straight win. However, Flagg continues to make strides as his rookie season progresses. He’ll have a chance to be productive again on Thursday against the Pistons.

With Memphis playing Friday’s game without its best rebounder, Zach Edey, this was an excellent opportunity for Nurkić to put up a high number in the rebounds category. His 17 boards matched the veteran center’s season-high, and he finished with his sixth double-double. While Nurkić’s fantasy value is ranked outside the top-200 over the last two weeks, he’s a helpful option for managers needing rebounds. Add in the seven assists, and Friday’s was a good night to have Nurk on your roster.

After a slow start to the season in the rebound category, Markkanen has grabbed at least eight boards in five straight games. Averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, he has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

In his last three games entering Friday, Love totaled 18 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field. Simply put, no one outside of the Jazz locker room expected the veteran forward to be as productive as he was in Memphis. Love recorded a season-high point total and matched his previous high in three-pointers.

A double-digit scorer in three straight games, Clayton finished Sunday’s defeat with career-highs in points and assists. With Keyonte George (8/5/3/0/1) struggling and Isaiah Collier (one assist) only playing six minutes, it was Clayton’s show for most of the second half. The rookie guard had an encouraging effort, but it’s unlikely to mean much regarding his fantasy value in the short term. However, there may come a time later in the season when the Jazz look to feature Clayton more as the rebuild moves forward.
